First synthesis and characterization by mass spectrometry and UV-photoelectron spectroscopy of methylenearsane
Résumé
In a vacuum gas-solid reaction (VGSR; see scheme), the kinetically unstable methylenearsane was synthesized by dehydrohalogenation of gaseous chloromethylarsane on solid sodium carbonate and characterized in the gas phase by mass spectrometry and UV photoelectron spectroscopy. A new approach to theoretically evaluate ionization potentials is also demonstrated.
